Festival of Lights Facebook Post First, the Festival of Lights is a wonderful event. I left this post on Facebook on January 1, 2016. Because the photo was so good I shared it to my 1200 friends on Facebook. Also, no one ever took me up on the offer to go to the Visitors’ Center, […]

Today I found some joy at the Visitors’ Center. A gentleman came to the temple grounds to purchase a used copier the Church was getting rid of. His name is Bonnie. He works with the Evangelical International Mission church. They needed a copier and decided to come pick up ours. Visitors’ Center Quick Stop After […]

You never know what’s going to happen at a loading dock. A church organization recently asked us to remove a vending machine from their cafeteria. Because it was still working, we put it up for sale on Craig’sList. A wonderful guy from a Baptist church in Temple Hills, Maryland contacted us about it. We had […]

I was excited to return to the North Bethesda United Methodist Church today to hear an organ recital from Hector Olivera, an internationally-acclaimed organist. The recital was celebrating the installation of the new Allen Organ at the church. Our ward did a service project for NBUMC four months ago where 30 of us spent a […]

It happened in an elevator in January of 2017. I came home from church today dressed as normal. When I entered our apartment building I saw an African-American lady in the lobby with her beautiful chocolate-colored poodle. I don’t know her name but I’ve said hi to her in the past. We got on the […]

Tonight I attended a dinner in Springfield, Virginia sponsored by the American Muslim Institution. They help others develop tolerance for Muslims and other religions so people can live in harmony. I was pleased to be the only Mormon there among some 100 people. So, I sat next to a Muslim gentleman who asked me what […]

Last night I finished a busy but rewarding week of work. As I was driving home on the freeway I decided to reward myself by buying a pizza. When I checked my Papa John’s phone app I delightfully discovered that I had qualified for a free pizza. That made the idea even better. I ordered […]

Jan. 25, 2015 After Church Yesterday after walking out of church, I was almost to my car when a young lady who was walking by my car started talking to me. She said she had been invited to “that church” sometime in the past but hadn’t gone. So I re-invited her. Then I told her […]

A Toll Booth Missionary Opportunity in 15 Seconds! I pulled up to the toll booth on the Dulles Access road yesterday on my way to Herndon, Va. I couldn’t help but notice a small picture of Jesus sitting in the window facing me as I pulled up. The artwork looked Mormonish, so I paid my […]
